(2/8) + (1/63) using LCM Method:
What is 2/8 plus 1/63 as a fraction?

step 1 Observe the input parameters and what to be found:
Input:
Fraction A: 2/8
Fraction B: 1/63

What to be found?
(2/8) + (1/63) = ?
Find what's the sum of 2/8 and 1/63.

step 2 Compare the denominators of fractions 2/8 and 1/63 to identify whether it is a like or unlike fraction addition. Since the denominators of given fractions 2/8 and 1/63 are not equal, it is said to be unlike fractions addition.

The LCM of 8 and 63 is 504.

step 4 Write the fractions 2/8 and 1/63 in the addition expression form and multiply LCM with all the numerators and denominators of both fractions.
= 2/8 + 1/63
= [(2 x 504)/(8 x 504)] + [(1 x 504)/(63 x 504)]

step 5 Simplify the expression to have common denominator:
= 126/504 + 8/504

step 6 Take the common values out and rewrite the above expression like the below:
= 1/504 x (126/1 + 8/1)
= 1/504 x (126 + 8)

step 7Simplify the above expression further:
= 1/504 x 134
= 134/504
= 67/252
